2006, Fusion Oriental Painting by Hong, Ji-yoon.
Moving out – Last week of August 2006.
I moved from my atelier where I have stayed for 15 years. My paintings, books and other belongings loaded on 6 trucks tell the story of what I have done. People asked why I moved from such a familiar place. I replied that I would like to look into myself in more detail in unfrequented places where I was born and grew up. Leaving Blue House where I used to visit late and used to listen to the gorgeous sounds and the Soo Karaoke with a beautiful interior behind, I settled into my new nest at Chongpa-dong near Wonhyoro where there are lots of old trees and familiar people. I decided to move there already this spring and summer when I stayed in Germany. There I realized that my energy comes from slowness, serenity, and positiveness with diversity.
Spring and summer
I have performed my painting jobs at Villa Waldberta, an old house of more than 100 years at Feldangfing in the south of Munich by invitation and support of the Department of Culture of Munich City from April 1 to July 31. The place has been provided for painters, musicians, and novelists from all over the world since 1960. Living there with them, I experienced the culture and art of Korea and Germany; the world and Asia and I explored myself. I hosted a workshop titled “Hong Ji-yoon’s Fusion Oriental Painting” as I used to do where really large and desirable dandelions and thick pine tree forests more than 30 meters tall, and tried a new attempt with the materials for Oriental painting and nearby culture with the artists worldwide. I felt free.
I could spend the time in Germany by the invitation of the Department of Culture of Munich through the documents submitted to Inez Lattan, a cultural planner when I held a forum to introduce “Hong Ji-yoon’s Fusion Oriental Painting” during my individual exhibition in Germany last year.
The common theme of the exhibition held from June 1 to July 9 was the 2006 World Cup held in Germany. Getting an idea from the World Cup theme, “A Time to Make Friends”, I exhibited my Chinese Ink paintings of Japanese apricot trees, Orchids, chrysanthemums, and bamboo as well as ink panting images, titled, “Four Friends from the Orient in Germany”. It was done with the performance show, Hongjiyoon’s Longsam Show with the background music, Arirang, which was edited by a Brazilian colleague artist. It was an opportunity to get the results of my annual exhibitions in Europe that has been held every year since 2001. South Germany is similar to the Orient from the aspect that pursuit of tradition and philosophy is similar and it is much slower, more tranquil, and diverse.
The Meeting of analogue and digital: Poem + ink painting+ image
I like ink paintings much from among the oriental paintings. The spirit is simple, free, and exudes a natural diversity of water and ink. The title, “Thinking of Hong Ji-yoon’s Ink Painting and Poem” has resulted from here. The communication tool was language and images. And, art is based on the literary narrative. Oriental painting is poetry. My work begins with writing a poem and writing characters. Such a poem becomes an ink painting and ink image when moved to the computer. If oriental painting pursues sophisticated spirituality, images reflect that which is interesting and is condensed. Through these two avenues, I could get close to the attractive friends doing different works and to explain oriental painting for easy understanding and share the enjoyment with them. I also would like to make new things that touch me spiritually and in all ways.
From the passion – Autumn again, September 2006.
I hosted a workshop for designers and those that did not major in oriental painting in the Design Jungle Academy in the name of Hong Ji-yoon’s Fusion Oriental Painting in Autumn 2002. This is the 5th autumn that I have exhibited ink paintings and ink images there.
The term, Fusion Oriental Painting that people felt strange first, becomes an ordinary word for them. Art is reality based on the past and art itself should be the future. Thus, an artist should do something new, something that others have not attempted. People say I am passionate. I am very ambitious and I want to be a passionate scholar who is well aware of history and reality, and who can say “no”, and who has an ideal dream and not passion. Fortunately, oriental painting is harmonious with the word, scholar. As it reflects the heart of nature and humans, it is modern as well as futuristic.
In addition, I pursue the encounter of culture and culture; the warm, flexible and soft encounter of Oriental paintings with other things. This is Hong Ji-yoon’s Fusion Oriental Painting. What I dream is to create something new and specific that people can have empathy with through oriental paintings, and thus, to cause people to talk about oriental painting; to touch people and impress upon them through oriental painting; and to make them feel “Ah, this is an oriental painting... Oriental paintings can do such things…
Most of all, it is through oriental painting that I know myself best.
Slow in my head, fast in action.., as if nothing happened as it used to be…
Going toward Hyochang Park, I see the bright autumn moon between the branches of ginkgo trees shivering light wind.
